o.o putting in my own feedback (hooray for forums not being flash) the idea sounds nice, but there would be also extra work imo with like adding filters.

that is just for when players want titles like "Everyone but _____ is n00b" or adding weird words. again i like the idea (as a player even though the internet has been my bane <.>) but titles are awarded as part of trophies or achievements i believe, and even if there were, like fur patterns, i would imagine they would be pretty costy in-game-money o.o

Giving out titles to individual players (if that's what you're suggesting) is not something I consider - because who decides who gets what title. Either I have to allow every single player (including all those that go inactive quickly), causing a lot of chaos (and devaluing titles as a whole), or people cry bias.

If anything, I consider titles for trophy rewards and the like. However, for a title such as "the Derpy" I cannot think of a trophy that is reasonably challenging, and fits with that title.

just cause i wanted to give my idea, even though it is already in game (sorry if i annoy, and again just me being silly) I think that for "The Derpy" really it would involve having to make a bunch of mistakes in like one of the more current "challenging" dungeons (keep in mind this is VERY vague as for us challenging is mona, for new players challenging is the hollow tree or before and so on) and where you'd lose reputation or get a lot of sympathy for messing up so much.


but yeah, my silly idea aside xD but in seriousness, titles should stay as rewards, i will agree on that. Just like with the "make me bigger/smaller!" event that happened, i feel that people would abuse it whether they mean to or not sadly. And truth be, on my own opinion, people will always cry bias whenever something/anything new comes along, so best in the end for some things to, again, not be added in so these issues can be avoided completely, so again, i think this idea wouldn't fly.

The problem with this approach is that it encourages playing poorly. Imagine being in a group where someone makes a lot of mistakes just to get the trophy - causing wipes or making the dungeon much more difficult to complete.

That's why I said: " I cannot think of a trophy that is reasonably challenging, and fits with that title". I don't think there is one.

How about this:
Clear the whole monastery without dying ONCE (yes, including GS).

Title:

_________ (Player Name), The Monastery Professional
